Eating properly is not only necessary to meet energy demands. It also actively contributes, through both preventive actions and therapeutic effects, to improving human wellness. Nutrition owes its functional role in human health to the biological activity of specific, small dietary molecules. Plants are the most important source of bioactive molecules, and dietary phytochemicals are mainly responsible for the documented protective effects of diets which are rich in plant foods. Dietary phytochemicals have attracted increasing interest in human nutrition research over the past few years due to their ability to exert several biological effects that are potentially useful for human health, In this Special Issue, the biological activity of dietary phytochemicals, either purified or in extracts from plant foods, and their potential effects on human health are addressed and investigated.Biological Activities of Plant Food ComponentsResearch & information: generalbicsscresveratrolbioactivitiesanticanceranti-obesityantidiabetesmolecular mechanismsdurum wheat breadPortulaca oleracea L.essential fatty acidsomega-6/omega-3 ratioantioxidantsBangladeshvegetablespolyphenolsamylaseglucosidasereninangiotensin-converting enzymelipasemass spectrometryyeastantioxidantcytotoxicitybioavailabilityviabilityPunica granatumhydrolysable tanninsflavonoidsUltra High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Orbitrap-Mass Spectrometrytempuradeep-fried productbarleybuckwheatJob's tearsantioxidant capacityoil deteriorationpolyphenoloxidative stressnecroptosisplant extractsecondary metaboliteγH2AXcopperAfrican food spicesGC-MS (gas chromatography mass spectrometry)antimicrobialantibiofilmviolacein inhibitionswarming inhibitionswimming inhibitionanticholinesteraseantiureaseantityrosinasesensory analysismineral contentproanthocyanidinscarotenoidsantioxidant activityFRAPDPPHABTSCAAResearch & information: generalGentile Carlaedt1293629Gentile CarlaothBOOK9910557529403321Biological Activities of Plant Food Components: Implications in Human Health3022680UNINA
